Plesk is one of the most versatile and stable web hosting control panels available to shared hosting customers. It provides access to a comprehensive range of tools including a file manager, DNS editor, PHP settings, email account management, spam filters, and much more.
This tutorial outlines the different ways to access your Plesk control panel.
Log in to Plesk via the Client Area (Recommended)
Step 1: Log in to the Noiz Client Area using the 'Login' button at the top right of the website.
If you don't know your login details, use your billing email address. A Password Reset option is available below the login form.
Step 2: From the Client Area Dashboard, click on the 'Services' tile, or select 'My Services' from the Services dropdown menu.
Step 3: Find your website hosting plan from the list and click anywhere in the tile area (not on the domain name itself, as that will open the website).
Step 4: Click the 'Log in to Plesk' button in the 'Actions' section of the left-hand sidebar.
You can also access common Plesk features directly from the 'Quick Shortcuts' section on the same page.
Done. A new window will open and you'll be logged into Plesk for your selected subscription. Consider selecting the 'Take the tour' option to familiarise yourself with the interface.
Log in to Plesk Directly (Advanced)
Every shared hosting subscription includes control panel access via a web browser. You can log in to Plesk directly using your domain name, IP address, or the server hostname.
Your Plesk login details (IP address, URL, and hostname) are sent to you by email when you sign up. If you can't find the email, contact support.
Using Your Domain Name
Step 1: Open your web browser.
Step 2: Navigate to https://yourdomain.com:8443/ (replace with your actual domain).
You may see a security warning stating "Potential Security Risk Ahead". This is expected—the SSL certificate is issued to the Plesk server hostname rather than your domain. Click 'Advanced', then 'Accept the Risk and Continue'.
Step 3: Enter your Plesk username (or email address) and password. These credentials were sent to you when you signed up. If you've forgotten them, use the 'Forgot your password?' link or contact support.
Tip: The SSL certificate contains the server hostname. You can use this hostname instead of your domain to avoid the security warning.
Using Your IP Address
The process is identical to above, but use your hosting IP address instead:
https://your_IP_address:8443/
The login form will display the server hostname, which you can use for future logins to avoid SSL warnings.
Your IP address is included in your signup email, or you can contact support to obtain it.
Summary
You can access Plesk in two ways: through the Client Area (recommended for most users), or directly via your browser using your domain, IP address, or server hostname.
Login details are sent to your admin email when you sign up. If you need assistance, contact support.
